Yeah I feel like this was a bigger part of the issue than the leak D:Yay! It’s getting a lot of radio adds in the U.S. too.

Father's new album 'I'm A Piece Of Shit' is nice.

no shade!1!11

i think it's interesting that both Azealia Banks and Angel Haze, while rappers with distinct flows and indisputable ability, take their primary influence from outside the realm of hip hop. Azealia seems to breathe more Interpol and The Strokes than Biggie or Jay; Angel Haze talks about Sia and works with Markus Dravs. Azealia knows about house music - so interesting to me. i know absolutely nothing of it, and i can't help but feel that's what contributes to the truly original feel of her music. she also has the brain of talib kweli or q-tip in the body of a 20-something, foul-mouthed Harlemite, which is an awesome mix. I don't even know how to classify Angel. maybe pop rap that isn't really popular? the album was unbearably generic, but her mixtapes show a kind of genuine soul that transcends cheesy. she's special, maybe.

another thing on those two - both are doing something very unique as far as their careers as women in the world of hip hop. look back at the last twenty years of female rappers - if any of them achieved fame, however fleeting, they always had a male figure right next to, if not directly overseeing, them. i don't even think it's arguable. (note: this is not an attack on the ability of any of the following artists, or the quality of their art. it's merely a list cataloguing my observations of how the industry tends to work. please don't hear me saying something i'm not.)

examples:
missy elliott (billboard hits, six platinum albums) had timbaland producing and collaborating with her on far more material than she did without him. lil kim had diddy, biggie, and everyone else in junior m.a.f.i.a. when she started getting big in the early 2000s. without biggie, especially, she probably never would have even signed a deal, a fact she has been keen to remind everyone (especially biggie's widow) since. da brat had jermaine dupri, a driving force for her first one-hit wonder status and the so so def deal which carried her relevancy through the early 2000s. trina had trick daddy and / or ludacris eve had the ruff ryders (particularly swizz beatz) and dr. dre on board from the breakthrough success of 'scorpion' foxy brown had jay-z (and nas, among others) along with her on her first (and only) hit 'i'll be' in 1996, and has had very little impact since. rah digga had busta rhymes and "flipmode squad" for the brief period she was relevant in the early 2000s. if we have to name the un-nameable, a certain australian rapstress owes almost all her success in the industry to t.i. i have a feeling she's by far his most profitable investment since his hits dominated the radio in 2008. nicki minaj's relationship with safaree samuels is not something i have the tools or knowledge to evaluate, but it's definitely something to ponder here. if not safaree, her relationship with weezy will suffice for the sake of this article just fine. lauryn hill is a bit of an enigma to this concept, but nonetheless started losing popularity and interest in music altogether after the split with wyclef and pras after the fugees were to reunite in '05. then again, both 'clef and pras have mentioned at points that she is totally crazy, and some of her blog posts and recent interviews lend themselves quite well to this theory. she and erykah badu should do a record together.
